0:00.0	Welcome in to the latest edition of ESPN FC. I'm Dan Thomas joining the studio today by Craig
0:08.6	Burley. We'll kick things off in Germany. It's been a rough ride, hasn't it? For the international
0:13.1	side, of course, sacking. Hansi Flick, this week, Rudy Volley was in charge. Hey, and he
0:18.2	produced some magic as Germany would beat France by two goals to one. Thomas Muller would
0:22.2	score early on Leroy Sane then in the 87th minute. Griesmann penalty wasn't enough to get
0:28.0	France back into the game. So it's Germany who went by two goals to one. Keeping a keen eye on
0:34.0	this game for us, Gabb Mark Cotti and Frank LeBurf Frank. France are really rubbish if they
0:40.4	lose the Germany. I agree with you and I'm not happy about that because I thought that even if
0:48.8	it's a friendly game, it's not really friendly because especially in the game against Germany,
0:53.5	it's always a prestigious kind of friendly game where you have to win. Otherwise, you're going to
0:58.6	be a real loser and we are losers tonight because of the way that we played, the way we thought

1:13.3	holidays, didn't start playing before maybe 15, 20 minutes. And strange, you know, first 11
1:21.7	from Deschamps to say with two put, different positioning with Rabi on the left side. Griesmann
1:29.2	at front, the centre-backs to Dibo being put where, you know, it was his first cap. And you have
1:37.0	to remind, you know, the world when you play against Germany, that it's always something special.
1:42.9	So you have to put your best team. We didn't see him but he didn't even come on and France is
1:49.2	off to lose. Nothing else to say. Even if I don't agree with Craig and I can tell you, that was
1:55.5	a real penalty. He would have changed something, I think so. But overall, I would say the Germany
2:00.8	is off to win. Can I give the job to Rudy? Yeah, clearly, give the job to Rudy, play Thomas
2:07.9	Moore off front. I mean, look, this is an emergency situation that he's in. There's obviously deeper,
2:14.6	broader problems, even the way that I'm sure you guys talked about this, even the way that
